La Roche sur Yon is easy to get to, and at the crossroads of all the tourist destinations in the Vendée: the coastline, from Noirmoutier to La Tranche sur Mer, the Marais Poitevin, the Bocage with the Puy du Fou, and Nantes. You can stay in La Roche sur Yon and plan excursions to the 4 corners of the Vendée, to discover unique and very different landscapes. So you won't miss a single facet of this department, rich in heritage and activities.

The town of La Roche sur Yon has many assets and has succeeded over the last few years in offering one of the richest cultural programmes. The Quai M venue plays host to numerous artists throughout the year in this large, unusual building on the outskirts of the station, while the Grand R venue offers a rich cultural programme every year. The International Film Festival is also a not-to-be-missed event, taking place every autumn. During a family holiday in La Roche sur Yon, discover the Haras de la Vendée, where numerous shows and events are held throughout the year. Les Animaux de la Place bring the Place Napoléon to life every day, with passers-by able to take control of the animals themselves. Those with a sweet tooth won't want to miss the Musée du Chocolat, more to the north of the town, within the Maison Gelencser, to find out more about the harvest, and the production of chocolate in a fun way.
Start your journey at Lake Moulin Papon in La Roche sur Yon, where you can fish, mountain bike and even try your hand at water sports. The River Yon will then take you to the Yon Valley. You'll find the Moulin de Rambourg, in Nesmy, where you can learn more about flour production in a green setting where you can picnic, cycle and hike. In the commune of Le Tablier, the Piquet site, also known as the Chaos de Piquet, nestled in the heart of nature, is the ideal setting for wonderful walks, picnics, and to listen to the stories and legends of leprechauns.
The Maison des Libellules at Rives de l'Yon is a most enjoyable family visit to learn more about the lives of these little-known insects through games and activities.
